Morning appeal. [volume] (Carson City, Nev.) 1877-1906, 1887-10-05
AS OTHERS SEE US.


The Enterprise of yesterday morn
ing gives the District Fair fine en-
dorsement as follows:
The Ormsby County District Fair
which embraces Storey, Douglas
and Ormsby counties, opened yes
terday, and the people of Carson
are working hard to make q success
of the undertaking. Comstockers
who attended yesterday are all en-
thusiastic over the exhibit both in
the Pavilion and at the grounds.
The Pavilion presents finer ex-
hibit than was shown at Reno, and
the display made by the ladies of
the Women's Art and Industrial
Association elicits the warmest
praise from all sides.
The visitor is also confronted
with specimens of the vegetable
productions of the Sagebrush State
which are well calculated to make
one stare with establishment. Some
of the pumpkins, beets, squashes,
corn and potatoes surpass in size
and quality anything ever exhibited
in California.
At the grounds the cattle exhibit
of Leland Stanford's Holsteins, a
heard of twenty-one prize winners,
attracted universal attention, al
though cattlemen all agree that
Saratoga" of Carson City, is not
surpassed by any bull of the same
age in Stanford's string. Vail
Brother have large herd of Short
Horns, Polled Angus and Galloways
all related thoroughbreds, and M.
Cohn of Carson Valley, exhibits
some fine jacks and horses. Exhibits
have been sent into Carson from as
far as Woodford's Canyon, and are
still coming. The Carson people
are making a point to treat all visit
ors we'll, and there are no complaints
of overcharging or impositions.
Tie Enterprise advised the Com
stock to make some general holiday
and all go down this week and lend
hand to its enterprising neighbor.

CORRUPTION Ar THE BAY.

The conviction of ex-senator
Christian of San Francisco for jury
bribing is an immense victory for
the people of San Francisco. 1t
shows that they have brought cor
ruption to a stand still and are on
the eve of an important victory.
The conviction of "Little Pete"
was the first move in the right di-
rection and now that justice has be-
gun the work In such good shape
there seems a fair probability that
it will score signal victory over
the whole rotten gang. The evil
dence being picked up against these
men grows stronger daily, and the
people have the press, not the po-
lice, as the administrators OF justice,
to thank for the results obtained.
The Courts seem unable to distin-
guish between the law of the land
and the wishes of the bosses and
are doing work in Sinking half
hearted way. The following dis
patched from San Francisco throws
q great deal of light on the matter.
1t makes mighty interesting read
ing. Just hear this:
In Judge Coffey's Superior Court
this afternoon, in the contempt pro-
ceedings against attorney H. H.
Lowenthal and others, the papers
were produced which had been
taken from the safe in store of
Guam Chick by the Foreman of the
Grand Jury, Menzies, who was
armed with a search warrant issued
by Judge Coffey. One of the pa
pers was a document written in
Chinese, and urges the members of
a certain organization to subscribe
money for defending themselves
against their enemies, A list of

over $40, 900. Among the expenses
enumerated are District Attorney, a

One thing which shows the intrinsic ex-
cellence of the oyster is that IL Is sweetest
when wrested from its shell without any Gull
no ry ceremony ut all. Raw, 1t enters the
and when it gayly slides to its goal on its W
juices the stomach is never reminded that 1t
has been unwisely hospitable.
III way to prepare the succulent oyster SO
that IL will not be palatable has yet to be dis
covered. The oyster is like the perfect
Christian-always good. no matter how it is
treated. Raw, on the half shell, OF no shell,
stewed, broiled, fried. escalloped, picked,
stuffed, is IL a household joy.
Fashions in oysters do not change to any
styles at Dor1on's as they were years ago and
in the same proportion. The stewed oyster
comes first in the prediction of its friends.
Sixty out of a hundred who eat the bivalve
order an oyster stew; Oysters are Parthie u-
own juices, but at very few places are enough
of them opened to permit of this.
Next to the stew, fried oysters are the most
popular. They should not be smothered In q
thick blanket of batter till they are indi-
gestibly greasy. Run them through some
eggs, roll them lightly in cracker-crumbs, and
The boiled and the roast oyster are next in
order. When it is in q pickle 1t is quite
naturally diverted from its purpose, and
Most of the other modes are but variations
on these. The Boston stew only adds q bit
of toast for the oyster to lie on.
Some years ago an attempt was made TO IN:
troduce steamed oysters. In the Monument
City this phase OF the oyster will make the
natives mouth water at forty PAGES, and Har-
yey in Washington makes them q specially.
But the New York connoisseur draws the line
